Something
The Beatlesࠀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
Somewhere in her smile she knows
That I don't need no other lover
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know, I don't know
You stick around and it may show
I don't know, I don't know
Something in the way she knows
And all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't want to leave her now
You know I believe and how
The Beatles’ song Something is a beautiful love song that describes the singer’s deep and profound attraction to the woman he loves. The song is essentially a piece of poetry set to music, and it is clear that the lyrics are deeply meaningful to the writer. The opening lines “Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover” are evocative of the singer’s strong physical attraction to the woman in question. The way she moves is hypnotic and he can’t help but be drawn to her.
The song then goes on to describe the woman’s style, which is another aspect that draws the singer towards her. “Something in her style that shows me” suggests that the way she presents herself is a reflection of her inner self, and that the singer finds this inner self deeply appealing. The song then turns to the question of whether the singer’s love will continue to grow. While he cannot say for sure, the implication is that he is committed to sticking around to find out. Finally, the song returns to the opening theme, describing the way the woman’s presence in the singer’s life makes him feel complete.

This video is actually pretty sad when you come to realise that at the point of filming this, the Beatles had grown so far apart that they decided to film their own parts at their own homes rather than come together and record it as a group. The video was also shot when McCartney fell into a deep depression over realising that the Beatles were over, and you can really see it in his untidy appearence
@donbovie
Nothing to be sad. As times goes by.

As George said " all things must pass". I choose to look at this as the Beatles simply moving on and the people they're moving on with. There's no doubt that each are happy with the company of their partners at this time. So why be sad

even so, he's the best, the most genuine
